How to change external display resolution WITHOUT clicking "CONFIRM"?

I have a somewhat unusual situation. My MacBook laptop is actually now a ModBook (a pen-tablet computer), and as such I no longer have a trackpad attached to it. All of my inputs are via the stylus, tapping directly on the built-in display.
This works perfectly fine, except when I need to give presentations on an LCD projector (which is quite often lately). I like to use the projector as an external monitor, so that I can run the Keynote presentation on it while using my laptop screen as the presenter's display, with the upcoming slide, etc. If the projector doesn't give me an ideal native display option (sometimes, the aspect ratio for the  3 or 4 resolutions available in the Displays drop-down in the menubar turn out to be stretched or squeezed), then I, naturally, have to open the Display System Preferences and try out different resolutions.
The problem is, since my stylus only interacts by clicking directly on the built-in-display, I have no way of moving the cursor over to the external display when the dialog box with the "Click here to confirm change/You have 15 seconds..." message appears. So I can never click it ... so I can never confirm the new settings.
The workarounds I've used so far are:
- Mirror displays (not ideal, as I need the presenter preview of the next slide)
- borrow a mouse from someone (usually from a Windows desktop, frankly) and plug that in to briefly mouse over and click the confirm button
I'd love to find a software workaround that allows me to NOT mirror displays and also doesn't require me to carry around a mouse all the time (my laptop bag is already overstuffed...).
Thanks.

How to change the display resolution of APEX ??APEX doesn't have a display resolution. "Display resolution" is an attribute of the device and user agent software used to view the APEX page.
What do you mean by "the display resolution of APEX"?
In other word, if an end user sees large elements on a pageWhat "large elements"?
then he/she zooms it outHow?
"Zooms" what—the entire page or a single "large element"?
How can I set a proper ZOOM for my app by default ...Meaning what?
And as usual, we're missing:
<li>Full APEX version
<li>Full DB/version/edition/host OS
<li>Web server architecture (EPG, OHS or APEX listener/host OS)
<li>Browser(s) and version(s) used
<li>Theme
<li>Template(s)
<li>Region/item type(s)
You've been posting here for years. You know this basic information is necessary to understand and reproduce problems.
If you're looking for help it doesn't seem unreasonable that you make the effort to provide a full, clear but concise description of the problem or requirement.

  • External display resolution changes after returning from display sleep

    I often use an external display as a second screen with my Macbook Pro (OS X 10.8.2)  However, when I return to the computer after the display has gone to sleep, the external display resolution changes when the display reappears.  Then I have to go into System Preferences > Display and "Detect Displays" in order to return the external display to the proper resolution.
    Does anybody know of a way for me to avoid having to do this every time my display sleeps?
    Thank you,
    Adam

    I have the exact same problem.
    I found the key combination ⌘ alt F2 also restores the proper resolution on both displays, however it's still a bit annoying

  • How to change the Display Pattern for Decimal Fields dynamically

    hi all,
    Can any one help me how to change the display pattern for decimal fields dynamically???
    Currently I am using z,zzz,zzz,zz9.999 Display pattern for Quantity Field. If the value is blank it is displaying as 0.000 on the Screen. But I don't want this to be printed.
    Please help me how to solve this ASAP.
    Thanks,
    Prabhu

    Hi,
    Alternatively you can handle it in the context.
    In the context area, click on the quantity. In the bottom, click on the conditions tab, and put a condition
    <quan field> NE initial.
    So the field will not be printed if there is no value.

  • I am unable to play a downloaded HD movie from iTunes. SD movies play OK. An error popped up saying something about the display not suitable for HD movies but now all I get is a blank window. I have tried changing the display resolution to no avail.

    I have sownloaded an HD movie from iTunes store and when I attempted to play it on my Windows 7 PC a error message popped up saying something about the display not being compatible for HD movies. I have tried changing the display resolution several times but it didn't help. Now it just comes up with a blank screen when I attempt to play it. SD movies work fine. I have the latest version of iTunes installed.
    Can anyone help me resolve this problem?

    Apparently the display is required to be HDCP compatible to view HD movies in iTunes. My display isn't so this is my problem. I contacted Apple support and they have agreed to credit me for the HD movie and I have now downloaded the SD version.

  • I just bought a new PC and I have re-installed my Adobe Creative Suite Standard on it. Software open fine. PROBLEM: The toolbars (menu stuff) appear extra-small, too small for me to read... I sent on the PC setting to try to change the display resolution.

    I just bought a new PC and I have re-installed my Adobe Creative Suite Standard on it.
    Software open fine. PROBLEM: The toolbars (menu stuff) appear extra-small, too small for me to read...
    I went into the PC settings and tried to change the display resolution. This changes the size of all  the icons (not only Adobe) but it does not solve the problem when I open an Adobe application (Photoshop or Illustrator)... The PC is run under Windows 8.1 and my display resolution is 3200x1800 (but again, when I change the settings for a smaller resolution, only the size of the icons is affected. Once I open the software, the problem is still there, extra-small toolbars...). Help!!!

    Anything before CC is not high-DPI compatible. Feel free to continue to experiment with your system settings.

  • How do I adjust display resolution for Mac Mini?

    How do I adjust display resolution for Mac Mini? Text does not look crisp.  Using Samsung 27 inch monitor with HDMI input

    Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Displays. Depending on your version of Mac OS X, it may be set for "Best for Display" in which case it should already be set at the optimum for your monitor, or it may display resolution options in which case you should set it for the native resolution of your display.

    How do I select multiple images without clicking on each one? Is there a way to select duplicate photos to delete them?

    Consider adding the delete symbol to the Finder window tool bar.  This way you can highlight all the photos you want to delete at the same time then hit the "delete" symbol.
    Open a Finder window/View/Customize Toolbar - follow the directions in the customized pop down window.

  • How can I save my adjusments without clicking Done?

    In ACR,
    How can I save my adjusments without clicking Done?

    Do you mean you are wanting to save your adjustments file-by-file as you work on them without exiting ACR via Done and then having to go back into ACR from Bridge, each time?  I don’t know as you can that.  For Cancel to undo all adjustments for the batch of images, there can’t be something else that saves the adjustments incrementally for individual images.  Of course you’re in trouble if you accidentally hit Cancel after doing a batch of edits and lose everything.
    The Bridge/ACR workflow was developed many years ago and is pretty simple-minded.
    An alternative would be using Lightroom that remembers each adjustment as you do it and stores it in a permanent history so the adjustments are saved immediately but also can be undone, last-to-first, at any point in the future, for a particular image.

    How to change image display of my podcast page in iTunes?

    As far as I understand you need to update the image's link in your RSS XML file.  Be sure to change the link file name even if it links to a different image.
    The XML files associated with podcasts are checked for changes every 24 hours so don't expect this to happen instantly.

    Hi, e8god.  
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.  
    The option to take apps full screen is still available.  Here are the steps on this feature in Yosemite.  
    Take apps full screen
    In many apps, you can expand the window to fill your entire screen. While in full-screen view, swipe to see another app’s full-screen window, to see your desktop, or to see a space you created.
    Expand to full-screen view: Click the green full-screen button in the top-left corner of an app window, or press Control-Command (⌘)-F.
    Move between windows in full-screen view: Swipe left or right on a trackpad or Magic Mouse. For more information, see Learn trackpad and mouse gestures.
    Return to standard view: Move the pointer to the top-left corner of the screen, then click the green full-screen button again, or press Control-Command (⌘)-F.
    Take apps full screen
    Cheers,

    You are trying to find a loophole to circumvent a basic rule that prohibits the transfer of purchased content from one Apple ID to another.
    Content tied to an Apple ID are bound to that Apple ID forever. You can not merge or trade accounts. Well, not (officially) anyway...

  • Macbook Pro, how to reset invalid external display resolution?

    Hi there. I have a question about the external display configuration.
    I recently connected my 2011 Macbook Pro 13" (10.8.2 Mountain Lion) to an external HD-TV using Thunderbolt to VGA adapter. After connecting the TV had 1920x1200 resolution which made the text and everything look very tiny. So I thought I'd lower the resolution a bit. But then I messed up and accidentally changed the resolution and refresh rate for the external display to one that wasn't supported. So the TV went black and gave an error about an invalid resolution. At the same time, on my Macbook screen I had only the background image and display settings dialog. No mouse cursor, no menu bar, no dock etc. So I couldn't do anything.
    I disconnected the Thunderbolt adapter and got my Macbook screen back to normal, but when I plugged it in again, the same thing happened. Invalid resolution on TV, just background image and display settings on Macbook screen.
    Now, this was just before I was going to give a presentation and it resulted in a very awkward situation with me franticly re-plugging the Thunderbolt adapter and looking just completely clueless In the end I had to borrow my colleague's laptop.
    So my question is: when this happens, is there a way I can reset / clear the external display settings back to defaults? They are obviously saved somewhere since replugging the Thunderbolt adapter didn't give me back my original resolution.

    A PRAM reset should solve that:
    From the article linked above:
    Your Mac stores certain settings in a special memory area even if it is turned off.  On Intel-based Macs, this is stored in memory known as NVRAM; on PowerPC-based Macs, this is stored in memory known as PRAM.
    Information stored in NVRAM / PRAM includes:
    Speaker volume
    Screen resolution
    Startup disk selection
    Recent kernel panic information, if any
    To reset your PRAM:
    Shut down your Mac.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.
